Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 20, 2014
Transcript:
To: Mom and Dad Subject: Camp in good! Phoebe: Hi, 'rents. Which is short for "parents" and saved typing. Although I guess not if I bother to explain it. Oh, well. Music camp is fun. Sue is still my favorite crazy person. Sue: I think I can get my clarinet to double as a potato cannon! Phoebe: The piano counselor says I suck less than I did last year, or at least that was the subtext. Phoebe: I think marigold is in love. Marigold: We are so different. Ringo: We both enjoy tea. Phoebe: I know your lives are empty without me. Mom: Our daughter underestimates wine and video games. Dad: Don't kids always.

Love? I thought they were just friends. Oh well, if this doesn’t get Lord Splendid Humility to show himself, nothing will!

(kids never underestimate Whine).any camp inside a wi-fi field is just pretending. You have to go without electricity to truly appreciate telling the new girls to plug their curling irons into the current bushes. bwahahahah

Wine and video games is not my style. Bourbon and chess? Now you’re talking!

My fear is that LSH would gracefully retire from the field if he thought he had a rival. It’s one of the problems of dealing with humble people. Not that many of us HAVE that problem these days…! ;-)

The only video games my parents play are Klondike and Mahjong.

The way my memory “works.” Sigh or grin, I’m not sure which, but it said that I need to buy some dried blueberries so that I can make Boozeberry Jam. Recipe: Reconstitute dried blueberries in Southern Comfort. Follow blueberry jam recipe.Caveats: I’ve not sure what Southern Comfort is as in which type of tippling fluid, and think that what I’d want is perhaps a bourbon. Or, since I’ve burnt out most of my taste buds eating jalapeno pickles, maybe vodka with a dash of liquid smoke.

Isn’t LSH dating Marigold’s sister?
